Enzo Fernandez Guilty for Racial Songs and Traffic Violation

The past week has been particularly challenging for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The footballer faces backlash after a racial song video and a guilty verdict for a traffic violation. A video surfaced showing Fernandez and his teammates singing racial songs targeting French players. This incident triggered widespread backlash from fans and heightened tension with Fernandez’s French Chelsea teammates.

Adding to Fernandez’s woes, he has been found guilty of a traffic violation. The 23-year-old midfielder was charged with providing information to the police regarding a red light infraction involving his Porsche Cayenne. He was also cited for driving without insurance. Although Fernandez did not enter a plea for these charges, they have been withdrawn. However, he is scheduled to face sentencing in September 2024 in Llanelli.

In response to the backlash, Fernandez issued a public apology for his actions related to the video, which was broadcast live on his Instagram account on July 17, 2024. Chelsea FC has condemned the behavior shown in the video and accepted Fernandez’s apology, emphasizing their commitment to addressing the issue.
